“The Search Advisory Committee has done an excellent job of identifying a pool of highly qualified candidates,” said Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw. Added Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Reed Dasenbrock, “The College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources is central to UH Mānoa’s efforts at reaching out and serving the entire state. Current Interim Dean Sylvia Yuen has done a great job over the past two years as Interim Dean, providing leadership and positioning CTAHR for the future. We have a strong pool of candidates from whom to select the next dean who will continue to move CTAHR forward.”
